COPENHAGEN (AFX) - The editor of the Danish newspaper that first published the controversial prophet Mohammed cartoons said the media was giving Muslims special treatment as a result of the subsequent uproar.
"It turned out that the freedom of the press crumbled much more quickly than I thought. It seems to me that the freedom of the press the world over is being limited as Muslims are being given special treatment," Jyllands-Posten editor Carsten Juste told the Danish daily Kristelig Dagbladet.
"The result is that these privileges are going to be extended even further," Juste warned, saying he was "very ill at ease with what is happening at the moment".
Juste said religious belief was a private matter, but it had entered the public arena like never before.
"Now we have to be careful about things we never thought we would have to be careful about," such as writing about the oppression of women in Muslim societies, he said.
That's the goal of Muslims, to stop you from criticizing them.
